hello, menuconfig seems to be going rather well, I'm able to navigate with grml, *cheers* I've got a question though, I'm not totally sure what all I do and don't need in my kernel. Is there somewhere that would show a minimal kernel with other options? I don't want to use my kernel that came with deb because it's huge, and I think I might get some better performance if there wasn't so much there, in terms of everything being modules, etc. Thanks, ~~TheCreator~~ Visit TDS for quality software and website production http://tysdomain.com visit the piratecafe for programming related resources: http://piratecafe.net msn: tyler at tysdomain.com skype: st8amnd127
